Axel's Magic Hammer




Baby Thor is back!

Hands up who saw this coming? Yeah, I'm getting predictable, right? Well, I was about three or four rooms into this game before I realised two things. One, I was having a blast with what I knew would be a great platformer. Two, I quickly restarted because I knew I needed to map the Atari ST version (what else?)

If you're wondering what I'm going on about, that means you missed my ultra-sexy review! How could you? Well, breathe a sigh of relief - your life isn't a total failure as you can read it by clicking here.

Seriously, this is a belting game, and definitely one you should add to your playlist. I loved the controls and the easy exploration, albeit by a linear design. I know it didn't break the mould but I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. I can't imagine anyone struggling to get deep into this one. Just take your time and use those block-bashing skills as best you can. They often give access to a different route and hidden areas.

Btw - if you're interested in other ST game maps then take a gander on my new page!

Level one is tremendous fun and plays great at introducing the game mechanics.


Level two and things look a little familiar. This is another great level.


Another great level but it's getting boring hearing this yet again?


This level feels familiar! The tree parts are seriously awkward.


I called this level 'boring' but that's not really right. It's quite tough, however.


I thoroughly enjoyed this level, quite traditional albeit with a couple of nasty rooms!


Looking familiar, yet again. But the gameplay is spot-on!


I wouldn't say it's tougher than the rest, however, those final lava rooms are insane!!!!


Within the end room is a stationary Dragon - who has your girlfriend. Kill it!!
